    Page & Person

    Cabin creative sessions provide welcome and possibility to write your book.

  • People are their books and books are people. 

    I have seen so often writers begin and then turn away from stories at the midpoint. This made me see that the person begins a story with the wonderful possibility of escaping themselves into a greater identity. The one they were born with before the drones came.


    Ideas free minds. 

    So with enthusiasm the writer sits with the new, and it becomes, over time, a reality. Then the reality of their lives comes for them, the ideas tarnish through practice, the efforts have to conspire with vision and the vision clouds as the issues in the human life come close.

    Suzanne Changes Lives

    I worked with Suzanne as a mentor for a number of years. I’ll never forget my first day.

    I really felt I didn’t belong and that my writing was not up to scratch. It was Suzanne who changed all this.
    She's both an amazing mentor and editor and is the reason I’m still writing.

    It’ll be the best thing you’ll ever do; at least that’s how it worked for me!
    Helena Duggan, author and illustrator

    Committed, Unique, Remarkable

    Suzanne’s instinctive abilities allowed the students under her tutelage to flourish. She has gone way beyond the required teaching role in her support. Suzanne’s passion for all forms of writing and her ability to develop the student’s capacity for understanding their world through creative processes is unique and remarkable.

    The Most Sought After

    Suzanne is an enthusiastic, gifted and inspiring teacher. That is usually enough for anyone. It's plenty.
    How many teachers have you had that would fit that description and if you had any, what influence did they have on you? There you go! Add to that a zest for life and literature, wicked sense of humour, an ability to have fun and spread that around. I know what I am talking about - in eleven years of running the West Cork Literary Festival Suzanne's workshops were the most sought after, the most talked about, and produced the best buzz. A teacher to her fingertips and a writer from the heart.

  • Reach the Words - Write the Book

     

    Project based consultations and courses are for those who wish to write and don't know where to start.

    A person-centred approach to your project is employed.

    From inception to conclusion, we take your writing dream and turn it into a realisable plan.

    For those who write, but feel overwhelmed by what is involved and lose confidence, a good teacher and mentor helps you realise why you began.

    Listening is Powerful

     

    This is what they call my unique selling point, a business term, I prefer valuable definition.


    After years of writing, editing and lecturing, I trained therapeutically to confirm my belief that fear and time,

    the twin obstacles of all writers, are only overcome with mentoring the participant and their ideas.

    Listening is powerful. All stories are listening.

  • Here are options to help you Reach the Words and Write the Book.

    All sessions are available on Zoom as well as in the Cabin.

    Groups can book to have Suzanne travel to arranged locations for longer programmes.

    And the sheet of snow white paper did remain pure

    and chaste forever — pure and chaste — and empty.
